LIM - Cozy Christmas

When I saw this week's sketch on the Less is More blog, I just knew I wanted to play along.


To create my card, I stamped the houses and trees from the Cozy Christmas set (Essentials by Ellen) on a panel of water colour paper using Versamark ink and heat embossed using SSS white embossing powder. I then added water to the area I wanted to paint and added colour using a wet paint brush and distress reinkers. To finish things off, I stamped the sentiment, curly smoke and some tiny stars using Archival black ink and adhered my panel to a black card base.

I'm also entering my card into the following chalkenges:
ATSM - 168 Holiday
Winter Wonderland - Anything Christmas goes
52 Christmas Card Throwdown - Emboss resist

    Love, love, love! I love the colours - it's nice not to have red and green for a Christmas card for a change :)

    What gorgeous colours you've used with your white embossed images. The black border really lifts it all.
    Thanks for sharing with us.

    My trip to Disneyland Paris with my grandchildren last week put me all behind with my commenting, I'm sorry this is so late!
    This is such a sweet little sketch and a super interpretation of the sketch!
